Title: Chapter 9: The meeting.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Wish I did, but I don't. And this one is just like the movie, I do not own the movie either. I just totally love it and it belongs to the person who thought it up. Just borrowing some lines from it.

Summary: So what happens when Lee confronts Amanda?

Timeline: The first year of SMK. 1993-1994.

Author's note: I know this is probably nothing that nobody expected, but I did say in my first story that this DOES follow the movie, "You've got mail". Sorry it took so long to get this up. Had birthday, graduation, graduation party, family, and other things. Enjoy.

WARNING: Runs a little away from Amanda's character. She's a little mean in this and I'm sorry. I made her as nicely mean as I can. Please don't flame too much.

Amanda is sitting in the café waiting for "Bruce" to show up. She sits there fiddling around with her book and her daisy.

Waiter: Would you like another tea ma'am?

Amanda: Yes, yes I would. Thank you. (And hands him her tea cup. And continues to look around.)

The door opens and she sees Lee come into the café. Not at all thinking that he could possible be Lee, she grabs her book and tries to avoid him. But it's too late Lee has spotted Amanda.

Lee walks over to Amanda: Hello Amanda. Well isn't this a coincidence.

Amanda looks up finally: Hello Lee. (She said without any joy in her tone.)

Lee: Would you mind if I sat down? (Grabs the chair.)

Amanda puts out her hand: Yes, yes I would mind. I am meeting someone.

Lee sits down anyways: I'll just sit here until your someone shows up.

Waiter comes along and gives Amanda her tea: Would you like anything sir? (Asking Lee.)

Amanda: No. No thank you. He's not staying.

Lee: Coffee. Black. Thanks. (Waiter goes away.)

Amanda: No! You are not staying. (Trying so hard not to get loud or mean.)

Lee: Like I said, I'll just stay till your friend arrives. (Taking a look at her book) Hmmm... "Pride and Prejudice".

Amanda: Yes, I'm reading it.

Lee: Yeah, I could tell. You know it wasn't such a bad book.

Amanda: Really? I didn't know you could read... (Lee gave her a not so pleasant glare. Clapping her hand over her mouth.) I'm sorry. I mean I didn't know you read that book.

Lee: See, there are a lot of things you don't know about me.

Amanda: Well, if you just open yourself up a little more, then I could know a little bit about you.

Lee: Nah, I don't open up to a lot of people that I open up to. (The waiter came with his drink.) Thank you. (He took a sip.)

Amanda: You are a strange man.

(Just then the door opened up and Amanda looked; a rather handsome man and around the same age, come into the café. Amanda hopped that that was him. She grabbed her book and placed it in front of her. Lee was watching her fuse over a guy that wasn't "Bruce".

Lee: Amanda, I don't think that's him.

Amanda: And why would you say that Lee? (Lee pointed, back to the man and saw him kissing a woman around the same age as he.)

When Lee turned his head back around Amanda sighed and asked: Please leave. Lee, please just leave.

Lee: Well, you don't have to ask me twice. (He grabbed his drink and sat directly behind Amanda.)

Amanda sighed and just took out her book and started to read again.

Soon another young man came into the café. He was wearing a red baseball cap.

Lee: You know what that red hat reminds me of? (Amanda didn't not answer him.) The first time we met.

Amanda: The first time you were mean to me.

Lee got up and sat down in the chair across from Amanda again: Mean?

Amanda: Yes mean.

Lee: Would you like to elaborate on that?

Amanda: You rammed into me, which was NOT fun, you told me I did nothing really big to help you, and you never once thanked me for saving you. (Feeling bad after she said that because she knew it was a bit mean.)

(Just then the door opened up and Amanda looked. A man wearing a magician costume walked in.)

Lee: I'm guessing that's not him either. So he is, he I wonder? And will you be mean to him too?

Amanda: No I will not be mean to him, because the man that is coming here tonight is completely unlike you. He's kind, funny, and has a wonderful sense of humor.

Lee: But... he's not here.

Amanda: Well, if he's not here then there's a reason for him not being here because there is not a cruel bone in his body. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that. (Lee opened his mouth to say something.) You are nothing but a lonely man who craves for things that he wants, but does nothing to get them.

Lee: That's my cue. (He put down some bills. Enough to pay for his own drink and her's.) Goodnight. (He gets up and leaves.)

The minute that he leaves, Amanda wants to start crying. Never in her life has she ever been this mean to anyone in her life. She sat there and didn't care if Bruce came or not. All she cared about was that she knew that she hurt her friends' feelings way too much.
